Seeing the mockup, and after seeing the black MBs, I think that it's "ok" in black, but I don't find it much more attractive than white. Aluminum would be the thing that blows it out of the water.

Just no. I'd be more than happy if Apple kept it's entire range white for consumer and alu for pro. That could extend to a range of white monitors and a range of alu ipods :D

Of course, we all know about the Mac mini, which is a pro machine since it has an aluminium shell. ;-)

Okay, okay... it has a white plastic top. :D

I personally don't care for it in black, but my college son would love it. He has told me numerous times that he loves his Mac, but he wishese that it were black. Come to think of it, most everything he owns is black, and the white just sticks out too much.

I'm an Emo kid,non conformist as can be,
you'd be non conformist to if you looked just like me.
I have paint on my nails and make-up on my face.
I'm almost Emo enough to start shaving my legs.
Coz i feel real deep when I'm dressing in drag,
Some call it 'freedom of expression' most just call me a fag.
Coz our dudes look like chicks and our chicks look like dykes,
because Emo is one step below transvestite.



I kid, I kid.... Or do I?
 
Apples should be green...... or greener; at least more recyclable!

Sorry but the black iMac looks like it's licence built by Dell! Only a matter of time!!!:eek:

Cobalt Blue iMac and your really talking!;)

I had a free hour today so I decided to make a quick mock up of how the iMac would look in aluminum.

Here it is:

And in black:

And please don't go yelling "PHOTOSHOP!!" because it's obvious it was done with it :)
 
I think the black is pretty rockin, however, if it is $150 more, I'll go with a white one, thank you.

As for a white keyboard and mouse, you could always get an after market keyboard and mouse that are black. Although, with this route, it would get rather pricey to find a BT keyboard and mouse in black.
 
Still think it's going to look kind of like the iPhone. Black doesn't look too great with the current iMac casing, it'll need some kind of REAL redesign.
 
I still prefer a white iMac, although the black is pretty nice. The Aluminum is looks much better than I would have expected. Excellent Work.
 
I think black will look cool. However with all the rumours of mac lineup changes, I wonder if Apple is going to throw intergrated graphics in the imac and then offer a tower in the mid range. Just a thought.

Just.

NO!

Don't even THINK that!

I doubt this would happen.

But if it did, I'd be glad I bought my iMac when I did instead of waiting for "Leopard in March" and then some. Right. :)

The low-end iMac currently has integrated graphics, that's what Intel GMA950 is.
